Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 757. (Read 531127 times)

What is very sad about Real Betis at the moment is that they have now lost their ticket to the European league. because since last week they were displaced by Real Sociedad. Because Real Betis was unable to get full points in the last two weeks. But fortunately, currently Real Betis still has the opportunity to get a ticket to the European Conference League. So this season is not too bad for Real Betis. Although not as good as last season. Because last season Real Betis managed to get tickets to the European League. But this season they won't get it.

The last match that Real Betis will face will also be very difficult. Because Real Betis will face Real Madrid in the last match of this season.

At the very least, it is a testament to other teams who are able to succeed with previously unknown players. Unlike Barcelona who only buy top players but unfortunately, this method will only continue to worsen Barcelona's finances. After all, if Barcelona is able to be patient to build a team with young players then of course, slowly maybe Barcelona's finances will also improve. About Sorloth, the truth is that this is his first season playing in La Liga with Villarreal and his contract is still long until 2028. In fact, Sorloth played for Leipzig and then went on loan to Real Sociedad and Sorloth continued to be tied to those two teams for the last few seasons, until Sorloth played for Villarreal and managed to become La Liga's top scorer this season.

There were not many surprises in the matches played a week before the last week of the league.Barcelona managed to defeat Rayo Vallecano at home with 3 goals.Pedri scored 2 goals within 13 minutes of entering the game, which was very useful for his team to win.
Real Betis, on the other hand, could not maintain their good performance in recent weeks against Sociedad.Betis under Pellegrini lost an important 3 points by losing 2-0 to Sociedad at home.Betis would have managed to get an important 3 points for 6th place if they had won this match, but despite their dominant and good play, they could not find a goal against Sociedad, which led to the loss of the match.It was sad for them to play such a good game and not score a goal.

This is so true. There are no points to take seriously because Real Madrid has won La Liga this season. Madrid just needs to be fully prepared to face Dortmund soon and la liga is not that important as it has won the trophy. Even if the club win or lose the game in the match against Villarela will make no difference if real madrid has been a winner of la liga this seaosn. Everyone is taking it seriously.

They forgot if Real Madrid had been winning the competition and any results in  la liga gave no impact, ancellotti uses the remaining match to give more experience tot he player like arda guler.
This is why he said on his interview about arda's performance is just getting developed even further. It doesn't even make sense if they are now claiming that it was an important match for Real Madrid.

Villareal really couldn't finish in a better ranking this season. This is different from last season where Villareal managed to finish in 5th place in the standings. But this season, Villareal will probably still be ranked 8th. Because there is only one match left this season. and that won't be enough to get Villarreal up the rankings. But I also appreciate Villareal's performance in the match against Real Madrid. But what I appreciated was Villareal's performance in the second half. Because they were able to score 3 goals and equalize the score.

It's just that in that match I still saw that Real Madrid was a really solid team. Even with only using a lot of second tier players we still saw Real Madrid score a lot of goals in the first half. Arda Guler was the shining star in this match. This happened because the real stars did not play in the match. I am very happy that Ancelotti finally rested several of their main players in this match. And in fact I am quite amazed that Real Madrid was still able to get a draw in this match.

The situation got out of hand when Sorloth made the difference, which in this case had an impact on the final result because looking at the beginning of the match, especially after Madrid managed to get a fairly good score, of course we also realize that the chances of winning are very high but that's where the mistake was because Madrid could not react when Villarreal's quick counter-attacks in the end.

Sorloth's strong aerial dueling power and cleverness in choosing the right position are troublesome for Madrid's defense because they always miss which makes this a little less predictable where for the last 2 goals Madrid actually saw the wrong conditions when if they were calmer then Villarreal's fast counter-attacks were not fatal.
The game is over now but that doesn't matter with this draw because the most important thing is that their focus is on the Champions League and nothing else as the final is now in sight.

yeah everyone was excited about the finals of the Premier League, but people did not pay attention to the La Liga matches that were played, it was a draw game for Madrid yesterday, and winning the Premier League for the fourth time shows how superior we can be when it comes to football games. Don't worry, this is just the beginning We are going to win more trophies next season.


In the first half of the game, Madrid was doing pretty well, The first half lasted from 14 to 47 minutes, and Madrid had already scored four goals. during the first half, everyone has already assumed that Madrid is going to win. and during the second half, the game changed for Real Madrid and they could no longer control the game. and Madrid already knew that even if they lost, it wouldn't affect them winning La Liga. they have a serious game ahead, and that is with Dortmund. I am sure Madrid knew what they were doing when they were playing against Villarreal.


Arda is an excellent player and scoring two goals was an excellent performance coming from him, Madrid will continue to bring in excellent players over time and I so much believe in them and their players, just as I believe in Manchester City.  with this achievement, Arda will prospect for real Madrid.

Arda Guller began to integrate and create chemistry with other Madrid players so that it did not make it difficult for him to continue scoring goals even though he was rarely played, as a young player of course Arda Guller needed more flight hours to continue to be able to hone his abilities as a football player, talent and talent are of course the basis for being able to become a great footballer but still the opportunity to play is the most important thing and Must be obtained by players to be able to further develop their talent, currently Arda Guller only gets a few opportunities to play in Madrid so it is quite natural that we have not seen anything surprising from Arda Guller.


If we compare between Arda Guller and Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal, of course this season Arda Guler has more goals than Lamine Yamal who has played 36 games with Barcelona, although both are young and talented players but I think Lamine Yamal will be able to develop more than Arda Guller next season because so far Lamine Yamal has higher flying hours than Arda Guller,  In addition, the mentality possessed by Lamine Yamal has been very tested in facing strong teams and we do not find it in Arda Guller, playing in a team as big as Madrid is certainly a pride for young footballers, but when the player only gets a few opportunities to play, it is certainly better for the player to look for a more capable  from team give it the opportunity to play and improve his career

Arda Guler is one of the young potentials that Real Madrid has, he is a young player who has very good talent, so it is a good future for Real Madrid. And it's true, as you said, when he is given the opportunity to play, he can show something extraordinary by making a contribution to the team. For a young player, it's not easy to do all that, especially since he's in a big team like Real Madrid, so the pressure he gets is definitely big, but he managed to show his abilities very well.
I agree with you, that it is still too early for him to be in the Champions League final, because the pressure he is under is much greater, if he is not ready for that then maybe it will mess up the strategy. I don't mean to underestimate him, but what I am emphasizing here is that he still has to find the right time for his Champions League debut. Maybe next season he will start to be trusted to play in the Champions League, not necessarily regularly, he can play when Real Madrid is safe. I'm also sure the coach will know when he has to play this player.

It was definitely a big surprise. I do not think anyone actually expected that Real Madrid was going to lose this match after they had such a big lead in the match. it was definitely a great comeback from Villareal to actually be able to get one from this match. Even though it does not mean anything on the table at this point. But getting one point against Real Madrid when they had such a big lead, is definitely something that can give you a lot of confidence.

But at the same time, I guess we can say that Real Madrid was not actually looking to go really hard and make sure that they will definitely win this match. I mean it is definitely something to get only one point from a match against a relatively weaker opponent when you had such a big lead. But I think the biggest target for Real Madrid is actually going to be the Champions League final. Real Madrid has already been able to win the La Liga title.

When Arda Guler was used as a starter, he has always been able to score goals for Real Madrid so far and his contribution has been 6 goals for Los Blancos. Indeed, he is a hidden diamond from Turkey and it is clear that the more patient he is, the more opportunities will come to him. Competition at Real Madrid is not easy and therefore he must continue to train physically while also maturing his talent.

However, if we talk about lowering it in an important match like the Champions League final, it's still too soon and if it's for a domestic league match like last night, it's still worth trying. But I'm sure that slowly but surely Arda Guler will still get his turn if the team really needs it. If Mbappe comes to Real Madrid, it will not affect his position considering that these two players have different positions.

They have won the league title already before then so it was just normal for them to be able to let go of that game and not risking key vital players in that game such that they are unable to get it better in the champions league which happens to be a bigger and better game they are projecting ahead for them to win and get their biggest victory this season but even at that Madrid was able to still display a good amount of strength in that game.

Four goal been equalized when they were almost at the end of the game was actually a really good one and that face that they used their reserve team to achieve that Made it obvious that Ancelotti wasn't even really concerned about that game rather he was most concerned about them getting to win the champions league and that's where he has been channeling all his energy so he will be able to get the kind of results he hopes to get from there probably which is winning the champions league trophy by the end of the day but then Madrid will have Dortmund as a strong opponent.

Villarreals goals ain't such that we can say they actually managed to score because getting such number of goals in a game is definitely resulting from a very good and conscious plan and not just a regular goal scoring or mare luck because you can be lucky till upto the fourth goal, it's definitely the fact that they were at advantage in that Madrid was playing with reserve and not the main team but conceding four goals there after was a bad result too do Villarreal because it's something Madrid may not allow if they were the one leading.

Real Sociedad were very tactical in this match. The players of Real Sociedad do not try to attack too much. On the other hand, the performance of Real Betis players was completely different. Real Betis players attacked a lot. And throughout the match we saw the dominance of Real Betis players. But in the end Real Sociedad got a nice 2-0 win in this match. Real Betis players made only 5 shots in the entire match. And only 32% possession of the ball.


Cadiz did not perform well against Las Palmas. The match was a goalless draw. Had Cadiz been able to win the home match, they would have had a great chance of getting out of the relegation zone. But now there is no chance for Cadiz to get out of the relegation zone. Cadiz team is 4 points behind Mallorca. Even if they win the last match, Cadiz will be 1 point behind Mallorca.

I am still in belief that Sorloth should have been at a better team if given enough time. I do not know why he is not getting the attention he deserves, dude is the top goal scorer in the league after the last games.

Being the top scorer of La Liga in any season means that you are a great striker and he deserves it. He should have been at some other greater team, imagine if he was at Barcelona instead? That would have meant that Barcelona could have fixed all their striker issue, Lewandowski problems and all that. In any case, Real still played well, Arda scored two more goals, he is at 6 goals for the season just after playing less than 300 minutes, that is less than 1 goal per 50 minutes and the kid looks like a future super star easily.

Ancelotti doesn't care what results Real Madrid achieves, this can be seen from the Starting Line-up when facing Villarreal. Real Madrid is not aiming for any ambition in this match, nor do they need any more points after locking in the title. This match was an opportunity to show the talent of players who rarely have the opportunity to play so far, they played very well even though Villarreal managed to score 4 goals. Ancelotti is more worried if his players are injured, especially players who have been filling the main squad, avoiding injury to key players is his goal because there is still one other important match that must be played in the Champions League final.

whatever the result in yesterday's match, for me this is not something bad for Madrid or something to be proud of for Villarreal.
the reason is quite easy and very simple, what is Madrid's target after officially winning the La Liga title?
well, from this statement it is quite easy to understand and all fans or everyone understands why the match ended in a draw because Madrid no longer has any goals in the La Liga match and only competes to give the second tier players the opportunity to appear to test their respective talents. Madrid players and if it ends in a draw, it won't be any problem and it won't reduce Madrid reputation because they only appear with second tier players.

and on the one hand, Villarreal will also really understand why Villarreal was able to make a comeback with just 1 player and that is not something to be proud of or something surprising because Sorloth knows that Madrid only appears with second tier players which is easy to find the weak points of the players Madrid reserve.
so it was very easy for Sorloth to score 4 scores and I'm sure Sorloth wasn't too satisfied because the opponent he was facing wasn't the real Madrid.
just imagine how Madrid strength, which only relies on second tier players, can score 4 scores and if they use the main players, Villarreal will definitely not be able to break through Madrid defense and will definitely be defeated by Madrid.

all this is done for the good of Madrid who will make La Liga proud because Ancelotti is saving the main players to win the UCL title in the upcoming match.

Most of us forgot about Madrid match against Villareal because we focused on paying attention to the closing EPL match which Man City won again for the 4th time.

Madrid vs Villareal went quite well in the first half because it was totally dominated by Los Blancos, but after entering the second half for the first 10 minutes Real Madrid made mistakes at the back. 3 goals in a short time was indeed surprising and in that match all 4 of Villareal goals were scored by Sorloth. It's extraordinary that he was able to break through Madrid defense quickly and effectively. What I saw was that Ancelotti thought this match was too easy because the first half controlled the game, so in the second half they didn't focus on strengthening the back line which was so wide open and easy to penetrate. Actually, even though it ended in a draw, it wasn't too big of a problem for Madrid because this match was just a bonus at the end of the season. But if a game like that is repeated in the match against Dortmund then Ancelotti will be very careless. Hopefully we don't see a performance like this in the UCL final.

Arda Guler scored 2 goals for a total of 6 goals that he collected while playing with Madrid in 287 minutes of playing in LaLiga. Next season he must continue to increase his goal productivity, even though currently his status is tier 2, having 6 goals collected is certainly a positive achievement.

That 4-4 draw was unexpected, but I dont think Real Madrid will care much. They're still on top, and it would take a massive collapse to lose the title. Villarreal revealed Real's defense's major vulnerabilities. Giving up four goals, even with a comfortable lead, is bad for a Champions League squad. If Im Carlo Ancelotti, this match helps me teach. His players must focus and not take anything for granted. They dont want doubts in the Champions League final. But thats why they play games, right? Any given day is unpredictable. Villarreal's comeback deserves praise. They may not win the season, but their fans will remember their performance.

Previously Atletico Madrid has fantastic records from Osasuna because from total 20 meeting in all competitions Atletico Madrid can gets 17 wins even since 2014 Osasuna was never able to win from Atletico Madrid so that's why i thought Atletico Madrid can easily to win from this match but apparently i was wrong because at this match Atletico Madrid has performing poorly and lost from Osasuna and if i am not mistaken this is Atletico Madrid second lost in Laliga match at home

This result indeed won't have any affect to Atletico Madrid position on League Table because certainly Atletico Madrid have already to secured Champion League spot or top 4 but indeed this loses is still unacceptable because Osasuna status is only a mediocre team in Laliga and lost with big scores from this team is really embarrassing for Atletico Madrid and next weekend is Atletico Madrid last match on Laliga this season and they will playing away at Sociedad home ground and similar to Atletico Madrid because Sociedad also have no target anymore from this match because they have already to secured 6th place but it could be good if Atletico Madrid can win from this match

There is only 1 match left and today are some truly surprising matches and will certainly make everyone feel angry at the failure of their favorite team, but at the end of the season like this it is very normal for something like that to happen.
Atletico Madrid lost to Osasuna with very embarrassing score of 1 - 4 and this defeat meant that Atletico Madrid had to really fail to catch up with Girona and they would only finish in the top 4, but indeed in this match Atletico Madrid played quite badly.
Apart from that, Real Madrid also had to suffer 4 - 4 draw against Villarreal, I think this draw was not a result that met expectations, but even though they lost, it will not affect anything because Real Madrid are clearly champions of La Liga.

Now everything is clear, Real Madrid is the champion, Barcelona is the runner-up and Girona is in 3rd place then Atletico Madrid remains in 4th place.
